The teams that did wear white at home Sunday

September 10, 2012

Overall, from
our story on Friday
guessing about which home teams would wear their white jerseys to open up the
first Sunday of the NFL season, we only missed one, the New York
Jets.

We were going
back and forth as to whether or not the Jets would wear white against the Bills
, they did not wear white at home during the 2011 season, but did twice in
2010, and did again yesterday, our only miss.

The team and
Nike did miss a unique opportunity to add the city name “SEATTLE” to the right
side jerseys stripe near the shoulder.It already says “SEAHAWKS” on the left side and it would
have been a symmetrical “SEATTLE SEAHAWKS” as you looked at the jerseys left to
right.

Also, our Left Field Cards event with artist Amelie Mancini is Thursday, October 4 from
6-8pm at our Center City Philly location (137 S. 13th Street).The event will mark the official unveiling of
Amalie’s “Presidents of the United State of Baseball” letterpress baseball
cards.

Two days
later, Sat. Oct. 6, is the annual Midtown Village Fall Festival in which 13th
Street in front of the store is closed to traffic and it’s one giant block
party throughout the area in which merchants set up out in front of the
stores.We invite you stop by for the
day-long event (noon-8pm), they’ll be all sorts of the special proceedings
going on in and around the store.

Authentically
Speaking Trivia Time: Who are the
only two NFL teams to wear white jerseys at home for every game during their
first season in the league?Answer coming
on Tuesday.

Friday’s
answer:The Los Angeles Kings did not have purple in their uniforms
between 1988-98, not coincidentally the period in which Wayne Gretzky suited up
for the team.

A couple of years ago, Keni Thomas was recommended to us as an artist, and we're thrilled that he agreed to join the Shibe team. He has designed a string of absolutely terrific shirts for us, everything from Ben Franklin to Wilt Chamberlain.

Hips: Stand with your heels together and measure the fullest part of your hips. Make sure the measuring tape is level all the way around your body.

Inseam: Stand up straight, and start the tape measure high in your crotch. Straighten the tape down the inside of your leg to the bottom of your ankle.

Hat Size: Measure your head about a half-inch above your eyebrow where the hat will sit. If you are unsure or between sizes, buy the larger size.

American Needle Fitted Hats

If you do not know your size, first determine where on your head you want to wear your hat. Usually it is worn about a half-inch to an inch above the eyebrows and/or just above the ears. Have a friend hold the tape measure (cloth, plastic, or download a printable version here) at the point where you want the hat to rest on your head. Insert the tip of your little finger between the tape and your head. Record the measurement and find your Fitted Hat size using the chart below. This should provide you with a comfortable fit.
